USING ZOOM
All live online classes will use ZOOM, a free video conferencing software. Zoom is accessible from your computer or phone; instructions for creating a free Zoom account can be found here.
- How to Use Zoom Tutorials (all are less than 5 minutes): learn-zoom.us/show-me
- Zoom also has a test site available if you want to test the application before your class begins.
Below are some general guidelines for using Zoom:
- Do not share Zoom meeting links with anyone outside of the class.
- Mute your microphone when you are not speaking so that other students are not distracted by background noises.
- If you are experiencing delays or interruptions using your home network, you can turn off your video function and still be able to listen and speak.
USING CANVAS
Some classes will also use Canvas, an online learning tool and home for all of your class materials where you can engage with your facilitator and other students.
